Sealed rectangular Ethernet connectors

7 July 2010 Interconnection

Samtec has expanded its line of IP68-rated sealed interconnect systems with the new AccliMate sealed rectangular Ethernet cable plug and receptacle. This new system, like the entire line of AccliMate products, is designed for industrial and other harsh environments with a silicon seal that meets IP68 specifications for dust and waterproof sealing. The rectangular design saves space compared to traditional IP68 interconnects, making the system well suited to smaller and lower profile applications. In addition, a unique push-to-seal positive latching system with audible click allows for easy mating and requires minimal space for mating connectors and cables.

AccliMate rectangular Ethernet panel mount sockets (RPBE series) meet CAT5e, CAT and CAT3 specifications and are available in either single- or dual-port designs. The cable plug (RCE series) is available double-ended (both ends sealed) or with a blunt cut (one end sealed). The rugged AWG #28 cable, with copper conductors and PVC jacket, comes in a choice of 2, 3 or 5 metre assembled lengths. Dust caps for protection while the system is unmated are available for both cable plugs and sockets.
